Refugio County · Phil Power (5100) field · Vertical
Welder D #9 (API 42-391-32142) is a plugged well in Refugio County, plugged March 11, 1999, last operated by Wiser Oil Company The.
The RRC has issued one drilling permit (amended twice), issued July 17, 1996, permitted to 6,800 ft.
It was permitted by Dale Operating Company and has since transferred to Wiser Oil Company The on the wellbore schedule.
Its 2 leases have reported 4.1K barrels of oil and 107K mcf of gas since August 1996, last reporting in July 1999. The leases carry 2 wells, so these are lease totals, not this well alone.
